533 paint color option? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

70c10 · 08-07-2004, 03:07 PM

This is the 2 tone paint option on my dad's 70' option sheet. Does anybody know what the name of the green is?. I'm thinking it's Medium Green. I took the glove box door off and the paint was like new behind the hinge. Now we are thinking of painting it that color as opposed to 92' F%$D Calypso green we had decided on. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks Jim!. I called my dad tonight and he said the option sticker said white/dark green. It doesn't say blue-green poly but after checking that site out it sure looks like it. What does Poly mean???

JimKshortstep4x4 · 08-08-2004, 07:03 AM

Poly means that the paint has the metallic flakes in it. Sounds like a nice color.

Jim, you are right. It does have super fine flakes in it. This color looks great!.

70c10- My color reads Dark Blue on the glovebox sheet, but looking it up it reads Dark Blue poly...the metallic makes it so cool

Here is a pic, but I am sure you have seen it since I am such a pic whore :p Hard to show the metallic, but believe me it makes the color so awesome!

Mine is 1970 medium blue green poly.

The truck has most of the original paint and it's faded real bad. The wheels, I painted recently and it made it obvious how much the paint had faded.

Go to a paint store and look at the paint chips.

Tx Firefighter, Why are the wheels you painted 6lug...and your truck is 5?

Tx Firefighter · 08-09-2004, 11:10 PM

My truck was originally 6 lug and I wanted to run some wider wheels for a few months while I collected parts for a 5 lug swap. Board member Matt67350 is now the proud owner of those old 6 lug green wheels.
